[CHAR] Hogwarts: Call Of Darkness [IC Is Up! Still Accepting!]

[AbysmalDemon]

Name: Callum Ilmore "Cal"

Age: 11 1/2

Appearance

Personality:
A kind, warmhearted boy, he is known for his intellect. His desire to learn Drives him, and can make him very competitive at times. Exceptionally different for someone who was a 'destined Slytherin' as they told him. Completely unlike his parents, he is modest, and actually has a heart, and wants to have fun, wants to be adventurous. But because of this, he likes to sneak around a lot, and it might cost him a few detentions. But he doesn't care, as long as the detentions involve something like the dark forest.

History:
Callum was born to a rich family in London. While they were Purebloods, they were modest people. They lived in a decent house, in a good neighborhood, with good people. He had a good childhood, with good friends. All in all, his life was great. Until the money came in. While most would think it was great, it was different.

His parents had both gotten high positions in the Ministry, and had a constant stream of money, and lots of it. His parents had turned into rich snobs, caring about no one else, and having 'no time' for their son. He had become neglected by his parents, and now forgotten by friends, since he moved, to a huge mansion, in a rich part of London. They wanted him to live up to their expectations. To act like he should, dress like he should, to be normal. But this was far, far from normal. He was being micromanaged, and that's when he got his letter for Hogwarts. A chance to be free, to be nothing like them, to have friends again.

Now that he had gotten an invitation to Hogwarts, his parents started to notice him more. They bought the stuff he needed, actually talked to him, and even got him a pet. Callum's life had started to look up.

Name
Lavender (don’t call me Lav!) James

Age
Lavender turned 11 in April

appearance

Appearance
Lavender is tall, well built and rather strong but not very athletic. She usually wears her black hair in a pony tail. Her sparkly green eyes may look innocent, but do not let her appearance deceive you.

Personality
Lavender is an open, outgoing, friendly girl. Intelligent, quick witted and mischievous, Lavender does very well in school and takes pride in her academic achievements. Her playful manner ensures she always has plenty of friends who enjoy her company and sense of adventure.

History
Lavender is adopted. This is uncommon in the wizarding world, but there you have it. Her biological parents were considered strange, and didn’t mingle with the townsfolk. When they were killed in a freak explosion that destroyed their house, leaving little baby Lavender completely unharmed amidst the rubble, nobody knew what to do with the girl. One of the first responders was an open minded young man. He and his wife had been trying for a baby for a long time. Rather than abandoning Lavender to the harsh reality of foster care and social services, he offered to take the little bundle of joy home, fully aware of the implications and the risk of having to give her up again.

When no relatives appeared to claim the little rascal, her foster parents filed the adoption papers. They had fallen in love with the intelligent and mischievous little girl and quickly learned to deal with the strange things that always seemed to happen when Lavender was around.
When the Headmistress of Hogwarts came to their house to explain that Lavender was a witch and that her biological parents had been magical folk as well (the explosion turned out to be a failed attempt at inventing a new potion or spell), a lot of things fell into place. Lavender’s parents fully support her going to Hogwarts and are thrilled to see all the marvels and wonders Diagon Alley and the magical world have to offer.

BloodType
Full blood. But having been raised by muggles means Lavender does not know whether this is relevant, or should be.

Wand
Willow, 10 1/4, with a core of Veela hair.

Wand

Pet
Intrigued by the idea of owl post, and eager to keep in touch without setting her apart from her peers, Lavender’s parents bought her a barn owl in Diagon Alley. Lavender named her April, because, like her, the owl was born in that month.

[Rick Sanchez]

Name: Simon Zheng-Addario
Age: 11

Appearance: Simon is short and thin at 4'11", with the beginnings of stringy muscles. His body language drips anxiety. Casual wear usually consists of a brown hoodie and skinny khakis.

Personality: Easily spooked, Simon's something of a survivor and something of a storyteller. Above all else he's self preservative; he and his wellbeing comes first. But, y'know, his friends are a close second. While kind and understanding, he's candid, and very down-to-earth. He cries a lot. He won't start fights, but he'll end them. He also likes spinning yarns and telling fantastic stories (blatant lies) and he wants to write them someday.

History: Simon came from an abusive household; his father (a muggle) used his existence to trap his mother and guilt her, and his mother, in turn, used Simon as a shoulder to cry on. Having taken care of his mother more than she took care of him the past 9 or so years, he's happy to leave home. (Will be fleshed out IC).

Blood Status: Half blood

Wand: Black Palm with a Dragon Heartstring core, 9 inches, very brittle. (view)

Pet: A palm-sized gecko named Regan. They're very temperamental and nervous, and seemingly intelligent for a creature with a brain the size of a pea. Doesn't seem to like being handled by strangers. (view)

Name:

Hiroshi 'Hiro' Yukimora

Age:

11

Personality:

Hiro is a quiet , timid, and quite soft spoken. He isn't the type of person to start a conversation or join in one. Hiro is easily angered , especially with him self. He believes that if something were to go wrong, that it would be his fault and quickly blames himself that he couldn't be better. Hiro doesn't like to take risks, or anything that could get him in trouble, but when push comes shove Hiro will instinctively act to save someone he holds in high regards, even if it means his life is put in danger. Hiro is incredibly book smart, but lacks street smarts. Reciting lectures, mixing ingredients to make potions, being asked to perform certain spells comes easily, but when put on the spot Hiro will fluster and blank.

History:

Hiroshi Yukimora is the youngest of 4, his older brothers and sister were revered wizards in Mahoutokoro; the Japanese wizarding school. His father Daichi Yukimora a famous auror in Japan, and his mother Emi Yukimora once the revered Quidditch coach of Japan. Emi was also rumoured to have help come up with the special Quidditch move the Japanese team uses known as the Tsunami.

Hiroshi is constantly put under pressure from his family, The Yukimora family has been renowned as one of the greatest wizard families in Japan . Hiro has lived his entire childhood being compared to his elder siblings, always hearing comments such as: " I hope he becomes a potion master like his sister", or " he has big shoes to fill if he ever wants to outshine his siblings". Hiro has been taught magic for his entire life. His father being an auror taught him day in and day out about the defence of the dark arts. When Hiro was 7 years old, he moved to London with his mother, who was hired by the London Quidditch team to help as an extra coach.

When it was time for Hiroshi to go back to Japan to start his studies in Mahoutokoro, his mother insisted that he go to Hogwarts instead. His father and his mother bickered on hours on end, but ultimately it was Hiroshi's decision where he wanted to go. Hiroshi knew it was a family tradition to attend Mahoutokoro, he didn't want to disappoint his father or his siblings. His mother told him that he would surpass the rest of his family if he were to go to Hogwarts instead, to learn something different, experience the world. In hindsight Hiroshi already knew that Hogwarts was where he wanted to go. It was a new start for him, he had no ones shadow to fall behind, nor would he have any teachers constantly telling him how amazing the rest of his family is.

She can't help her curiosity and has a bad habit of sticking her nose where it doesn't belong. She will try and behave if she is able to though.

Karen Diana Irving McGrave

Age
11

Appearance


Personality

Taciturn, collected, and dislikes becoming too excited. Karen, excluding wand-lore, prizes grace and excellence above all things. Young as she is, she has high standards that she holds herself and others to. She is a deep thinker, and prone to confronting another persons beliefs with her own. The idea of perfection drives her, and consequently, she's sometimes blind to her, and others, limits. Karen feels as if she has already found her direction in life - she moves with pride and with purpose, and always strives towards new heights. This was all due to how she was raised, and her subsequent orphaning.

Still, she does have her childish side. She enjoys teasing her classmates, or at the very least, putting them in awkward situations, but avoids going too far, as this is mainly for her enjoyment and not out of any malice. Karen, despite how high she tries to hold herself, is a very lonely little girl inside.

History

Born to a family of pure-bloods with a reputation for adventure and sudden bouts of inspiring insanity, Karen looked around her and saw giants. Each and everyone in her family were accomplished witches and wizards, some notable figures publicly, others choosing to conceal their talents for anonymity. Her parents were a group from the latter - they both were wand makers, and very good ones. However, not once did they ever sell their creations; they spent their whole life on research only, and relied on other sources to produce money.

Their research took them to strange and dangerous places, often times leaving behind Karen to be looked after by relatives. Their research was on the creation of the most powerful wand; a wand that could surpass even the fabled Elder Wand. Their hypothesis was that the skill of the wizard was irrelevant, and the key of the wands power should rely solely on the wand itself. To that end, they believed that to create the most powerful wand, only the best materials should be used during its crafting.

Over the course of ten years, the year after Karen was born, they went travelling around the world, chasing rumors and legends, mythical even by wizarding standards. They went after one mythical monster after the next, only returning home to compile and store their research and prototypes. Eventually, however, their adventuring took them too far and too deep into the mysteries of the world. They were in Africa when they disappeared, the only thing left of their existence was their research, and a packaged that arrived a week before, containing a wand, and addressed to Karen.

Karen, heartbroken at the time, vowed to continue their work, even if it killed her. Though they didn't spend much time with her, they were parents who genuinely loved her - their only mistake was to take a foot into the wrong direction. Their research took them to places where no one could return from, physically and mentally.

Wyatt Blackwood

Name:
Wyatt Blackwood

Age:
11

Personality:
Wyatt is known for being very intelligent and hardworking. He is not one to procrastinate so when a job is needed to be done, he completes it fast and efficiently. Because of this, people note how passionate and enthusiastic he can be about things. He is the type to cry if he receives anything below an A. Wyatt is a very logical thinker, relying more on factual evidence than intuition. Although this often helps him cleverly deduce information that many others miss, this causes him to be a very skeptical person. Wyatt can also be described as the voice of reason and quite the perfectionist. He likes to take on roles that have responsibility which sometimes leads him to be a bit of an overachiever. Because of his opinionated, interfering nature, Wyatt had the reputation for being a bossy know-it-all. He can be very blunt and argumentative when it comes to his opinions. His sometimes abrasive attitude is what masks his deep insecurities and fear of failure. The fact that he's muggleborn plays a factor in why he must be better than everyone else just to prove a point. Despite this, Wyatt is very loyal to his friends and those he loves. He is willing to jump in front of a bullet to protect those he cares about and is very friendly to those he gets along with.

History:
Wyatt was born from two muggles in the ghettos of South London. Him and his family didn't always have much and his parents had to work long hours just to support them. This often lead Wyatt to be at home by himself the majority of the time. During this time, he would read many books, solve puzzles, and do chores to pass up the time. He wasn't a big TV watcher but he would take a peak at things from time to time. Being an avid book reader boosted his intelligence and was quite the academic prodigy in primary school. He would always be referred to as the teacher's pet and would never get in trouble. This caused other students to dislike him which lead to nonstop bullying and teasing. Wyatt just pretended they weren't there and went about with his business. He never understood the concept of needing friends to begin with. His friends were his books and his parents.

One day when he was walking home from school, a group of troublesome boys decided to pick on him. They pushed him around a bit until he took a tumble to the ground, scraping his arm. It took everything in him not to cry because he didn't want to give them the satisfaction. The only thing he could do was close his eyes and wished they would leave him alone. He knew it probably wouldn't do anything because it wasn't like they were the boogymen or anything. When he opened his eyes he was shocked to find the bullies hanging up side down from a tree branch as they screamed for help. Wyatt couldn't help be giggle to himself before he ran home. Unbeknownst to him, what he just did was magic.

A few days after that happened, he received a strange letter in the mail inviting him to attend Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. He knew it was probably some kind of joke since there were no such thing as witches and wizards. Right before he could set the letter down, there was a knock at the door. It happened to be his neighbor who had been living next door to them for as long as he could remember. His neighbor just so happened to know about the letter he received and started explaining what was going on. It turns out, Wyatt's neighbor was something known as a Squib; a child of a witch or wizard who didn't receive any powers. Even though his neighbor had no magic of his own, he was entrusted by the Ministry of Magic the title of watching over Wyatt and his family since he was a baby. His neighbor had also told Wyatt that he showed signs of magic as an infant which alerted the Ministry of his existence, causing the Squib to move next door and get to know his family.

Of course being the skeptical person Wyatt is, he needed to see proof. So after the Squib filled his parent in on the ordeal, he invited them to a pub called the Leaky Cauldron. There he introduced them to Diagon Alley. Wyatt's parents were both excited and scared for their son since this was a whole new world for him. Despite their worries, Wyatt's parents allowed him to attend so he could better himself and not live a life like them. As of now Wyatt has all of the supplies needed for school, as well as a wand and cat he named Jinx, and is ready to head out to Hogwarts.

[Apoalo]

Name: Lachlan (LOCK-Len) Martin Everwood

Age: 11

Appearance:

Lachlan

Personality: Pure-blood to the very bone Lachlan has been raised to hate muggle borns and to make sure everyone else knows it. Lachlan himself however while born that way, and raised that way still has tolerance and will make friends with anyone. As a child Lachlan showed early the signs of a Slytherin. Cold cunning, calculations, ambition, and huge drive to succeed no matter what. The boy started practicing the wand movements and incantations of spells separately trying to get an edge in his classes and to make sure his family name was respected, despite being new to the country. He prefers knowledge as power and loves a good book more than anything else. Lachlan possesses great reflexes and promises to be a world class duelist at some point.

History: Lachlan was born in Sydney Australia to two of the most powerful wizards in that country. They were Dark Wizards but in Australia the Dark Wizard's weren't all that strict as they were in Britain, they were much more relaxed around Muggle born and accepted them as long as they showed magical skill. His parents were the head a organization they founded to help support Dark Magic around the world and as such they of course came into contact with Britain's prideful Dark Scholars. They convinced Lachlan's parents to move over and as they arrived became inserted into the political game of Pure-blood that was played by aristocratic families such as the Malfoy's and Black's. Lachlan was only 5 when the move occurred.

As he grew he was introduced to the pure-blood superiority doctrine by his parents who were becoming more and more pulled to such blood discrimination by the company they now kept. But Lachlan was strong-willed even at the age of 10 and found that he'd prefer to make such judgements on his own and not to allow his parent's or their friends to sway him in a certain direction. His father like may of the other pure-blooded wizards and witches strived to prepare his son for the best possible chance at Hogwarts leaving the poor boy with hardly any free time for himself making him learn wand movements using a wooden spoon, practicing his spell annunciation with a tutor, and even daily dueling lessons and exercise designed to hone his reflexes.

Lachlan for his part hated not being able to be a kid and longed for the rush of fresh hair on his face as he rode his broomstick around. It was very rare but his father did allow him to play with the other pure-blooded children and Lach was a natural on the broomstick the quick reflexes that his dueling lessons were honing showing when he played Chaser. He wanted nothing more (even if his dad didn't approve), more so actually than to play for his house team and was determined to get the position. When he turned 11 it was no surprise when he got his letter of acceptance and he joined the numerous other excited kids in Diagon Alley to get his supplies. He is very much ready to get to Hogwarts and start HIS chapter of life. Not his fathers, not his mothers, but his own.

Blood Status: Pure-blood

Wand: Cypress wood, 12 inches, Manticore Stinger core (heirloom wand), reasonably springy

DUMBLEDORE

[WittyWolf]

Name: Oscar Coutts

Age: 12

Appearance:

Personality: Oscar is a natural delinquent and rogue, but very friendly. There's never a moment that he doesn't want to spring up and just do something. Intensely loyal, the boy treats his own with a teasing but affectionate manner. Oscar is not shy when it comes to introducing himself and is known to always stop if a pretty girl catches his eye. Being such a handful, Oscar is a high-octane boy with a heart of gold to match. He's known to be intensely protective of his friends and will go to any lengths to defend them. However, he's loathe to admit when he's wrong, thinking that his way is the right way. The hardest thing for Oscar is to say he was wrong or apologize.

History: Oscar Coutts comes from a long line of Purebloods, but after a magical accident from a spell his parents had been designing, he was left an orphan. With no extended family or next of kin, Oscar went to a prestigious orphanage, as was his parent's will. It doesn't feel like any sort of home, but when they were asking where he'd like to go to school, there was no other choice. Oscar wished to find out anything and everything he could about his parents from Hogwarts, their alma mater. He'd been only five when the incident occurred. The boy was scared that he might forget the memory of his parents and desperately wished to keep the strenuous connection.

Blood Status: Pureblood

Wand: Willow, Threstal Hair core, 15" 3/4

Wand Description: The wand is slightly on the longer side and is supple. It's reasonably thick, molded at the handle to provide a truly secure grip. Set in its pommel is a jet stone, carved and gilded with the Coutts' signature lettering. Thick at the bottom, as if four to five pencils were taped together, it tapers an inch from the tip, giving the wand an elegant look. Almost like veins, the handle also has gilded grains to provide a very fashionable appearance.

Pet: Helios, ocelot
